Just in case anyone is not aware: This slogan is referring to collective punishment, which is a war crime. She is advocating for war crimes, shamelessly, in front of the populace.

holy fuck. Not even said, they made a fucking podium

To what was this a response? That people want to bring the Minnesota murderer to court?

Its never okay to spread objectively false information. If they were directly quoting Nazis, I would be on the first plane out of here, leaving behind my family and all my property. When I first read this, my heart jumped, because I thought that's what I now I had to do.

But then I see that it isn't true. Yes, this is alarming and horrible, but do you really think it wouldn't be any more alarming if they were directly quoting Nazi slogans?

I don't understand why people would even be debating that.

if you write something out and display it, it is no different than saying it out loud. that's not debatable, that's just the way it is.

If it helps, in another post about if Renee Good's driving was a part of why she was executed, Lemmy commenters were complaining about if using Google to search online was acceptable.

It's kinda depressing honestly.

Attacking how communication is done instead of what's being communicated is a form of subversion the CIA uses to mess with foreign actors. The left and its tolerance towards others (e. g. misgendering by accident) is very susceptible to such attacks and they've let themselves be decimated on the public stage because of it.

I'm inclined to give AskHistorians a pass. There is no community on Reddit that tries as hard as they do to moderate their way around the limitations of the platform and its management.

The verified posters tend to be millennial academics with masters or PhD's in history or closely related fields, and they take the name of the community seriously. You are there to ask a historian a question, and if none answers, then so be it.

And I agree, pushing past the obvious dog whistle to go somewhere the data doesn't lead is a way to weaken what should be a self-evidently powerful argument that the Trumpers are embracing ever-more-openly fascist positions on, well, everything.

If you ever want to check, just dona search and set the range of dates to end before the current outrage.

Before January, I couldn't find a single use of that phrase on the internet.

But it's not some dog whistle, it's blatantly obvious what they're saying. Don't let them get it twisted up so that the only bad things are verbatim what nazis said.

Same. I did find a recent substack that acknowledges that this phrase as a reprisal war crime was not verbatim used by Nazi Germany, it was just "in the spirit" of how the Nazis did their war crimes.

And those who did survive got sent to concentration camps. Absolutely despicable behavior

"This post which makes untrue claims isn't misinformation because it's heart is in the right place"

Behold: how conservatives became blindly accepting of any information as long as it fits their views

I understood that reference. Still cracks me up. What machine did he think they were raging against?

Of course they did, they're all dumb

Most Americans are seriously dumb. The illiteracy level is insane for a western developed country, especially the riches country in the world. It could ensure all its citizens are well educated but we'll educated citizens won't vote for fascists, they won't listen to the transparent bullshit lies of fox news and co, they won't vote Republican because fuuuuck that shit.

Republicans have worked pretty much since WWII, especially starting with Reagan, to ensure the US citizens are as dumb as possible, it keeps them in power.

So Magas dancing to killing in the name of is pretty normal for them, as they have no idea what they're doing, no idea what the song is about, no idea what RATM is about.

I'd feel sad for them if they weren't so dangerous to themselves, to everyone in the US, and everyone in the world. I honestly have no idea how to solve this part, after trump and Maga is gone. How do you deprogram millions of brainwashed idiots that barely finished highschool?

Still. She allowed the quote to be displayed while she was making a statement.

Her sentiment is clear.

Well this is disingenuous as fuck.

"She didn't say nazi shit, she just wore a swastika on her arm. Get your facts straight!"

If you stand behind a podium and give a speech, that podium is part of it. Whether or not her mouth made those sounds, she fucking said it.
